On the evening of April 30, 2019, Jonathan Carroll sat down at his computer and contemplated what his Facebook post would say. He wanted to let the world know that he was stepping away from teaching after 20 years. But it was more than just a post for attention, Jonathan listed clearly why he believes it is time for him to go. In his opinion, teaching has "become a toxic profession."
So my guest this week on Anchored in Education is none other than Jonathan Carroll. Jonathan talks more about why he feels it is time to leave the profession he once was so passionate about. Sadly, too many great educators are stepping away from the profession due to many of the similar reasons Jonathan talks about.
It will conversations such as these that will help educators, policy makers, and other education advocates better frame the problem with sure solutions that will help keep educators Anchored in Education.
